Hospital Clínico Universitario Lozano Blesa, Facultad de Medicina, Zaragoza, Spain. 3Department of Neurology. Hospital General Universitario Gregorio Marañón, Madrid, Spain. ABSTRACT Introduction. Nicolás Achúcarro (1880-1918), a brilliant disciple of Cajal, was invited by Nissl and Alzheimer to write on the subject of experimental rabies. The chapter, published in 1909 in German, has never previously been translated into Spanish. Material and methods. The study “On the understanding of the central nervous system histological pathology in rabies” was obtained from the University of Bonn, Germany, and translated into Spanish by one of the authors (FM). We researched the context of the study; its relevance to the epidemiology, diagnosis, and histopathology of rabies encephalitis; and its influence on Achúcarro’ s scientific career. Results. The study was conducted in rabbits, a dog, two hens, and a brain specimen from a man who died due to rabies. It was presented as a doctoral thesis in Madrid in December 1906. The German-language publication, from 1909, comprises 51 dense pages of text with 13 illustrations; a summary in Spanish was published in 1914. Achúcarro rejected the idea that Negri bodies were parasites, confirming Cajal’ s observations on Alzheimer neurofibrillary degeneration and argyrophilic fibres in rabies. He underlines the transformation of glial cells in the cornu ammonis into elongated elements (rod-like cells or Stäbchenzellen) to adapt to the parallel arrangement of pyramidal cells in the stratum radiatum.

    Chapter 18: Heart Disease and Diabetes

    CHAPTER 18 HEART DISEASE AND DIABETES Elizabeth Barrett-Connor, MD, Deborah Wingard, PhD, Nathan Wong, PhD, and Ron Goldberg, MD Dr. Elizabeth Barrett-Connor is Distinguished Professor, Division of Epidemiology, Department of Family Medicine and Public Health at the University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, CA. Dr. Deborah Wingard is Professor, Division of Epidemiology, Department of Family Medicine and Public Health at the University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, CA. Dr. Nathan Wong is Professor and Director of the Heart Disease Prevention Program, Division of Cardiology, University of California, Irvine, Irvine, CA. Dr. Ron Goldberg is Professor of Medicine and Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism, Diabetes Research Institute, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, Miami, FL. SUMMARY Heart disease remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality in type 2 diabetes and is estimated to account for 10%–11% of all vascular deaths. Surveys of the U.S. population have demonstrated an age-standardized differential for heart disease in adults with mostly type 2 diabetes that varies from 1.9 to 2.5. The age-standardized prevalence is about 50% higher in men than women overall and for most categories of heart disease, except congestive heart failure. Although rates of diabetes are higher in nonwhites than in non-Hispanic whites, it should be noted that non-Hispanic whites with diabetes generally report heart disease rates about 50% higher than Hispanic subjects with diabetes, with an intermediate prevalence in non-Hispanic blacks. Despite an approximate doubling in type 2 diabetes prevalence from the 1980s to the 2010s, the prevalence of heart disease in diabetes has remained stable.

    Langley 1 William H. Knight a Village That Is Noted for Its Woolen Twist and Twill, `Tis the Pride of Massachusetts

    Langley 1 William H. Knight A village that is noted For its woolen twist and twill, `Tis the pride of Massachusetts And they call it Saxonville. Excerpt from “Saxonville” by J.P., Date Unknown As a lifelong resident of Massachusetts, regions whose affiliations are not readily apparent always intrigue me. I had heard of Saxonville over the years and wondered about it. Was it a town unto itself or part of another community? Where did the name come from? Why was it significant enough to warrant its own historical preservation commission? Saxonville is, in fact, the oldest section of the town of Framingham. Its establishment as a village with its own name was the result of the talent, vision, and perseverance of immigrant William H. Knight whose work turned what was originally known as Stone’s End into Saxonville. Industry along the Sudbury River followed the needs of this region just 20 miles outside of Boston. Settler John Stone was the first to harness the power of the river by erecting a gristmill at the Great Falls of the Sudbury River in 1650, which endured until 1795 when it was converted into a sawmill. In 1811, it was converted into a cotton mill under the auspices of the Framingham Manufacturing Company on the heels of nearby Westborough native Eli Whitney’s invention of the cotton gin. However, “The New England textile industry soon realized that cotton was not king.” (Herring, 2000, p. X) The chilly climate of the region required a warmer material for clothing and bedding in the form of wool.

    Book Talk & Signing: Charles Street Jail by Joseph Mcmaster

    150 STANIFORD STREET, SUITE 7, BOSTON, MA 02114 Book Talk & Signing: Charles Street Jail by Joseph McMaster An Infamous History Revealed through Vintage Images FOR RELEASE: January 7, 2016 Boston, MA—On January 20 at 6:30 p.m., The West End Museum will host an evening with Joseph McMaster, author of Charles Street Jail, the newest addition to Arcadia Publishing’s popular “Images of America” series. McMaster will lead a discussion as well as read from and sign copies of his book, which will be available for purchase. The event is free and open to the public. Pre-register here. Told in pictures, Charles Street Jail features 200 stunning vintage images that reveal the institution’s infamous history. Always a paragon of architecture, the facility has been transformed into the luxurious and vibrant Liberty Hotel, which opened in 2007. It supplanted the Leverett Street Jail (1822-1851) and was replaced by the Nashua Street Jail (1990-present). McMaster is donating his proceeds from the book to The West End Museum. “I hope readers will appreciate the building’s rich and complex past,” said McMaster. “Long underappreciated, the Charles Street Jail was a fascinating crossroads of all kind of colorful characters and ideas of local and national importance. Just as the building has undergone a stunning historic preservation, I hope this book will help preserve some of the images and tales of this institution.” In nearly 150 years of continuous use, the Charles Street Jail in Boston’s West End had its share of notorious inmates, including Whitey Bulger, Malcolm X, Sacco and Venzetti, a captured German U-boat captain and then future Boston Mayor James Michael Curley.
